| | This is true to a large degree. However, there's also a mixed
| | bag. Many members were in the real air force and many have
| | retired from the same. I know several CAP colonels who were real
| | colonels in the real USAF. There's also a lot of members who
| | just like to fly and have fun and could care less about the

| | mostly for the cadets. Paying $70 per year in dues does not make
| | one an officer, although there are many who seem to think it
| | does. For senior members, there's also the option of wearing CAP
| | distinctive uniforms which display no rank insignia. That's the
| | option preferred by those who don't really want to pretend they
| | are in the military.
| |
| |
| |
| | Yeah, true enough, there are a lot of good guys in the CAP, They
| | are in a minority, though. I can't see how they can stand it.
| |
| | It all depends on the squadron you're in. Some are more into the
| | flying aspect and less into the pretend military aspect. Those
| | tend to be the more capable squadrons for air ops because they are
| | less tolerant of pilots who can't fly their thumb up their arse.
| | At least in my observations. There's lots of CAP pilots who don't
| | ever fly unless it's on the CAP dime. As such they may go 3-4
| | months without flying at all. Those types of guys aren't well
| | tolerated in squadrons that are more serious about the flying
| | aspect.
| |
| |
| | Whatever turns them on. Not worth my time to even think about them,
| | mostly.

Exactly the problem. You don't care about anything, or anyone, except
yourself.

That's one of your many illnesses.

| | On the other side of that coin there are those who expect to join CAP
| | and think they have a "right" to start flying missions the next day
| | because
| they
| | have X number of ratings or whatever, or they are simply a low time
| | pilot who wants to fly CAP planes on the cheap, yet contribute
| | nothing to the organization. Or they simply join up one day and
| | expect the organization
| to
| | bend around them rather than wanting to be part of a team. Many of
| | them wind up like you and quit. Good ridance, I say. CAP has over
| | 500
| aircraft
| | in their fleet, so it should come as no surprise that they are going
| | to auger one in now and then. The nature of the business involves
| | some level of risk. Of the crashes you mentioned, all involved very
| | experienced and competent pilots. Perhaps they did do something
| | stupid, but if you think you are smarter than they were, or a better
| | pilot, you have the type of attitude that often leads to a smoking
| | crater at the end of your flying career.

|
| Are you in uniform? Did you salute Viperquack's first post?

| Pretty funny coming from someone who salutes janitors.

Interesting how easy you can lie.

You've had your ticket for all of 18 months and you have no additional
ratings,

How do you figure this one out? the date of issue that you can find on the
online FAA database tells you when the piece of paper (or plastic) was
issued, which doesn't tell you anything about when the certificate was
earned; for instance, should you ask for a new copy of your certificate
(because you want to remove your SSN, or replace your paper one with the
new fancy plastic with hologram version, or change your name -- e.g., after
getting married, get a new version that states that you speak english or
with a photo on it (coming soon), or getting a new rating, or change any
other information on it), then the date of issue is going to reflect this
latest transaction, and does not tell you anything about the experience of
that pilot.... just saying.

Any more lies you'd like to tell, sunshine?

You are aware that DOI is the date that the last card was sent out, right?
Quit while you're behind.
